Basic Sponge Cake and Choco-Vanilla Marble Cake | Day 10 of Fire up you oven Baking Marathon

Basic Sponge cakes are a lifesaver
and a great base for snacks like tiramisu, . Although am not much of a
condensed milk – APF kind of person, Tarla Dalal’s recipe never fails. And I
was happy to see Priya
Srinivasan
have a basic sponge cake. I made some changes, mixed both
recipes, doubled the recipe and divided the recipe into a basic sponge cake and
the rest went to a choco-vanilla marble cake. Two birds in one stoneJKids asked me to make the marble cake more often,
fascinated by the unique designs the twirls that the batter could throw up. For
once, I was happy to use Maida / APF for the kids sake, and kiddo enjoyed with
her friends who had come over for a sleepover night party !
